I worked for Dean at McDonalds at the Hubbell store in the late-60s and early-70s. I always admired his honesty and work ethic. He was a perfect boss. Fun, but no non-sense.

Debbie, I was truly sorry to hear of your loss. I still think of us as young so it is shocking when I hear of a classmate's passing. I can't think of Dean without remembering that little blue Ford he drove in high school. . The guys were such car nuts. I remember cruising through the car lots. Imagine you do to? I am keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers. May you find comfort in each other at this hard time. Linda

Debbie: I was surprised, and sorry, to hear of Dean's passing. I have fond memories of those days, long ago, in Arch's office on SW 9th. May you find peace in your memories.

Debbie and family,
I was so sorry to hear about Dean's death. Our class has lost too many too soon. I always remember what a good head for business Dean had, sounds like it followed him through life. My deepest sympathy to all of you at this sad time. I would love to attend his Life's Celebration gathering. Keeping all of you in my thoughts.
